'Playboy Club' banned on NBC affiliate

NBC affiliate KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah has declared that it will not broadcast the network's new drama The Playboy Club.

KSL president and CEO Mark Willes announced in a statement that the 1960s-based series does not fit in with the affiliate's brand.

"The Playboy brand is known internationally," Willes said. "Everyone is clear what it stands for. We want to be sure everyone is clear what the KSL brand stands for, which is completely inconsistent with the Playboy brand."

The Playboy Club, which stars Amber Heard and Eddie Cibrian, focuses on the Playboy Bunnies and the patrons of the original Playboy Club in Chicago.
